THE WHEREABOUTS OF Irish footballer Steve Finnan have been the subject of much curiosity of late.
The former full-back is the only member of the 2005 Liverpool squad who won’t be turning up for an upcoming event to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the club’s Champions League win.
The news prompted plenty of speculation about Finnan’s current location, with the #findstevefinnan hashtag prominent on Twitter.

However, Irish Independent journalist Dan McDonnell claims the player is living in London currently. Speaking on Off the Ball last night, he said:
“I gather that Steve’s living in London these days, playing a bit of golf and genuinely not interested in seeking a post-football media career unlike so many of his former colleagues.
“It makes sense as he certainly wasn’t one for seeking the limelight when he was playing.”
No shame losing to a boxer of that quality, the Cuban is class. Great to get a bronze Conlon, be proud.
Michael Conlon must have the heart of a lion. To know your down, and to hang on in there and give it your all, right to the bell shows Michael is a brave sportsman. he done himself and all of us proud!!!!
Conlon gave it his best, but the Cuban was just unbeatable. Still, Conlon got bronze, he can go home happy enough.
That Cuban was brilliant. Michael Conlan did Ireland proud, another Bronze medal. Well Done
This group of Irish athletes have done this country proud for a country that does not give them world class training facilities. We should not forget that.
That can’t be an excuse, alot of the smaller countries don’t have world class facilities and have done alot better than Ireland, the athletes just aren’t good enough, Katy & Annalise & John Joe apart!
The Cuban will win gold for sure. Conlan done himself and country proud
Would have done better Sean???
Can someone tell me, whats the story with the bronzes for boxing? Do both the loosing semi-finalists get one?
Hi Val, there’s two bronze medals for the loser of each semi final in boxing, rather than a fight off for 3rd place
Well done Michael, you did your country and your family proud. Learn from the experience and build on it for Rio in 2016.
That was the worst fight I’ve seen by an Irish boxer at these games! Why the hell did he turn his back on the Cuban?
He turned his back because he was unfortunately outclassed…. He won bronze and well done. Conlon will learn and will come back stronger in Rio. Come on John Joe
